Chapter 1 Product Overview Simple Setup for Wireless LAN The printer has "SimpleAP" mode that allows a device to directly connect to the printer without using an access point. You can configure wireless LAN settings using the printer setting tool and print on the printer using the direct connection. • The printer acts as an access point in the SimpleAP mode and allows up to eight devices to connect to the printer.
Chapter 1 Product Overview Useful Functions for Smart Devices You can easily connect this product to the network by using the NFC tag built-in to the printer or the QR code printed on the status sheet. NFC Tag Bring a smart device that supports NFC close to the NFC tag to acquire the printer information (information for specifying the device). Specify the target printer using the acquired information to connect to the network.
Chapter 1 Product Overview Printing Using Multiple Interfaces In printers with multiple interfaces, you can use all interfaces without any limitations on which interface is to be used. You can use this function to temporarily connect a smart device to a nearby printer and print. The printer provides each interface with an independent receive buffer and switches the active interface depending on the priority, while handling data in each receive buffer. You can set one interface for the main connection.

Chapter 5 Handling Handling This chapter describes basic handling of the printer. Installing and Replacing Roll Paper CAUTION • Do not open the roll paper cover during printing. The printer may be damaged. • Do not touch the manual cutter with your hands when installing or replacing the roll paper. Otherwise, you may be injured because the manual cutter blade is sharp. • Use roll paper that meets the printer specification. For details about paper specification, see "Paper Specifications" on page 113.
Chapter 5 Handling 3 Install the roll paper in the correct direction. When roll paper is loaded, feed the paper for at least 20 mm. 4 Pull out some roll paper, and close the roll paper cover.
Chapter 5 Handling 5 Tear off the paper.
Chapter 5 Handling Removing Jammed Paper Do not touch the thermal head and its surroundings. After printing, the thermal head and its surroundings can be very hot. CAUTION When a paper jam occurs, never pull out the paper forcibly. Follow the steps below if the roll paper is jammed. 1 2 Turn off the printer. Open the roll paper cover.
Chapter 5 Handling 3 Remove the jammed paper. 4 Close the covers.
Chapter 5 Handling If Roll Paper Cover does not Open If a foreign substance has entered the autocutter or the roll paper jams, the autocutter blade cannot return to the correct position and it locks in place. In this situation, the roll paper cover does not open even if you pull the cover open lever. Follow the steps below to return the autocutter blade to its normal position. 1 2 Turn off the printer. 3 Turn the knob until you see a triangle in the opening.
Chapter 5 Handling Cleaning the Printer Cleaning the Printer Case Be sure to turn off the printer, and wipe the dirt off the printer case with a dry cloth or a damp cloth. Be sure to unplug the AC cable while cleaning. Never clean the product with alcohol, benzine, thinner, or other such solvents. Doing so may damage or break the parts made of plastic and rubber.
Chapter 5 Handling Preparing for Transport Follow the steps below to transport the printer. 1 2 3 4 Turn off the printer. Remove the power supply connector. Remove the roll paper. Pack the printer upright.
